That's racist towards redskins...

You can't talk football here!

I bet he had a fierce Afro and rode a horse, bare back like the Injuns do.

Nope, bald, fat and paranoid, and drove a dilapidated F150...

Do Injuns go bald? Cause I've never seen one...

Oh wait, you said Injuns...

She's got an awesome tan but she needs to repaint those nails.

It's just a David Lee Roth forum. What does anything you, me, or anyone else says here actually matter?

I'd apply that train of thought to shooting a random opinion over the bow to some random subject on some random FB thread. There's a good chance that throwing something out to complete strangers won't even earn a retort.

But here? I've been here long enough now that I consider the majority in here to be friends and people I'd share a beer with. I've been here for 4 years. A lot of you have been at this for over 11 years with each other. I think things "matter" in here. Just because there is large chance that some of us may never meet in the real world does not take away the human element and comraderie created. I view this board and it's great cast of characters with more respect and admiration than a good deal of the people I work with, that's for sure. Sadly, I see them 5 days a week.

I'm overweight and it is true Wolfy would be better served to do something now rather than later but it has little to do with his ability to play bass. I out work plenty of work out junkies daily and anybody that knows me would never question my work ethic or the countless hours I put in to provide for my wife and I. If you want to be shallow, be shallow, don't pretend you are doing it out of concern for the kid.

Yeah, like catch up with Delmonte and leave the spot open for Mikey...

It's a sad, sad, sad day in Van Halen history when we're talking about Wolfie's weight. But at least it's better than having to watch those performances again......

From Wolfie's Twitter page:

Genetics can really be a bitch...and Wolf is clearly his mother's son in virtually every way.

If he had more of Ed's genes, he'd probably be the lean machine Ed has always been. But he might also have the addictive personality and end up fighting the same drug/alcohol demons.

Unfortunately, I think he was a little bit fucked either way genetically. That said....DB has a point that Wolf is old enough to recognize issues and take corrective action if he wants to.

However, despite his weight issues, he does seem to be pretty happy and well adjusted. So, he has that going for him. It might be a few generations of Van Halen/Bertinelli spawn before things get balanced out....

Well put. While I agree with DB's mind over matter hard work and determination to stay fit, something sorely lacking in the youth of America, you do inherit some of your predecessors genetic disposition. Some people will never have thyroid issues. Some people will battle that shit to the end.

Either way, the kid can play bass. I just wish he hopped at the opportunity to play with a gang closer in age. I'd still check him out and the four original knuckleheads could get it together one last time and close the book.

Well, something had to take the place of the "Dave's hair" threads.

There's (literally) nothing left to talk about in that arena. He shaved it off and exposed the transplant scar. It's "game over" for the hair threads....finally.

I'll keep it going. He should have kept it shaved. Thought that look worked.
